Re: Stairway To Heaven

I dunno, I'd do it. Looks fun. Just take it one step at a time and always maintain 3 points of contact with the tower.

Re: Stairway To Heaven

I'd like to do it if i was younger. I don't think I'm in good enough shape to climb up there....and then I'd have to climb back down. It would be way cool to be up there though.

What did they do when they got to the top?

Re: Stairway To Heaven

I'd do it. In fact I used to do it for "fun" on a much lesser scale. But I may be too old and weak now to make a climb like that and then get back down. That's the other part - you have to get back down when you're through doing whatever it was you went up there to do.

That whole thing to me is far less scary than making a planned speech at an organized event with lots of people staring at you. Ask me a question, I'm okay. But working from a script in front of a large crowd, I'm shitless. Pulse 170, pressure 190 over 150.

That's so far different from holding a guitar when people want to hear at least something in the interest of fun. Speaking in public is statistically man's greatest fear, and I have it. Because I've had to do it. I guess if you did it every day, or if you WANT to do it to start with, it's not a big deal at all.

Falling? Just don't fall, and the ironworkers I worked with used to say if you fall over 20 feet you're dead anyway, so the fear gets no greater as you climb higher.

Funny you put it that way peewee, I have a fear of heights, it varies with the situation, but when I told someone the fear was based more on getting hurt than it was dying they looked at me puzzled.

I guess somebody's got to do that job, but there is no way it would be me.
